Absolutely. When you have blonde hair you need to treat it with appropriate shampoo, conditioner, and treatments as well as proper color techniques. We recommend coming in for a free consultation with one of our colorists to discuss how you should proceed. We also highly recommend coming in for a Kerastase deep conditioning treatment. This will help replenish the nutrients and moisture your hair may be lacking, as well as help get your hair back to its healthy state.

We would highly recommend a Kerastase conditioning treatment to replenish some moisture in your hair. As far as products are concerned, you should use a silicone based oil/spray prior to applying heat to your hair, whether it be a blowdryer or flat iron. Shu Uemura makes a fantastic oil called Essence Absolue to be used on damp and/or dry hair. Also, Kerastase makes a spray called Vernis topcoat that is used on dry hair prior to flat ironing.

We would recommend getting a roller set and wearing your hair curly. This is a great everyday hairstyle that can also be dressed up by pinning a few pieces back. It is an easy style to keep up with and requires the same 2-3 week maintenance as a wrap!

Fine, thin hair tends to be hard to grow long because it cannot easily withstand daily pressures. Although it may seem to have stopped growing, it never truly stops. We recommend trimming it every 6 to 8 weeks to keep the ends healthy; this will increase hair growth and help the hair continue growing in a healthy state.

The best way to "gracefully" make this shift is by getting highlights and/or lowlights (as opposed to one all over base color.) This way as your grey grows in it will work its way down the hairshaft making it an easy, natural transition.

Although this process can be done, it is not something we necessarily recommend. In order to answer your question completely we would need to see the color. You do not need an appointment for a consultation, so feel free to come in at your convenience and we would be happy to assist you.

We would suggest cutting a few inches off of your hair (mid-chest area) and adding some layers. This would help take a lot of weight out as well as give your hair movement. For a funky look you could add bangs (either side swept or fringe) to frame your face!

Based on the information you have given us, we would suggest a medium length, slightly above the shoulder haircut. To help with hair thinning, we recommend using the Kerastase Densitive line of products which helps prevent future hair loss as well as thicken the hair.

Color tends to add weight to the hair, thus making it hard to curl. We would suggest a slight trim to get rid of any dead ends. Use a deep conditioner, such as Kerastase Oleo Curl Intense to restore moisture to naturally dry hair. Use Kerastase Oleo Ourl spray to help redefine your natural curl and bring your curls back to life!
